Re: Robots not under driver control- does it happen- do you determine why?

We lost control a few times at FLR -- the robot would sit still with no coms for about one minute, and then kick back on. We're 99.99% positive it is the bridge rebooting, but we have yet to figure out why that is the case...

...It's got good location on the robot (up high, not surrounded by too much metal), and we double-triple-quadruple-quintuple-and-more checked the electrical connections.

It was intermittetent, frustrating, and cost us a match three times. :/
